Artist Series instruments are limited-edition builds, typically only built one or few at a time. They are distinguished by unique elements of craftsmanship, by the use of rare materials, and by the imagination that brought them to life, whether that was our own or that of our customer.

The Instrument
Craftsmanship
People are often drawn to our custom instruments by their unique visual design elements. This is where we let our imaginations wander. Artist Series pieces often represent a study of a certain visual form or pattern, perhaps inspired by an architectural design element or other work of art that captured our interest.
Material Excellence
Another signature of Artist Series pieces is the use of singular and visually notable materials. This could be a board with extraordinary figure, a particularly rare wood species, or a study in the use of stone or marble. Experimentation is in our DNA at Hardwood Music and material selection is no exception.
The Instrument
It’s most common for Artist Series pieces to feature a Chorded design, either 12-Key, 14-Key, or 16-Key. That said, over the years we have crafted one-of-a-kind builds of nearly alo of our models. We are always happy to discuss requests for tunings in a specific key and have even composed new tunings inspired by such an inquiry.
